SAFAVIEH Lyndhurst Julia Traditional Floral Area Rug, Beige/Multi, 7' x 7' Square

This rug blended in beautifully with our English style antiques and contemporary furnishings. The colors and pattern are surprisingly mellow and this rug is really good quality.

I have ordered three of these rugs in different sizes for different locations, one at a time. I expect to order more as these are a great foundation flooring for my style throughout my home. The beige color is a nice warm camel color and goes beautifully with my red oak floors. With the coordinating same brand pad, provides just enough sound deadening to make the rooms seem homey and relaxing. I am very pleased with the tight weave of the foundation and expect high durability. It also doesn't show so badly when my ginger cats shed. Of course with cats daily vacuuming is in order, and these rugs seem to tolerate that well. One item that I did not perceive from website descriptions and photos is that the paisley pattern is scaled by rug size - on the 3x5 rug one of the large corner paisleys is about 11" long, and on the 9x 12 the corner paisley is about 26" long. This is not a complaint, in fact it served my rooms better with its modern take on a traditional design, as I am blending Scandinavian modern walnut wood with a modern take on 18th century English. I strongly recommend these rugs, just be sure and leave some more for me! Oh, as for the comments on the variations in color I take it to be an intentional component of style. It makes me think a bit of the Pottery Barn/ Restoration Hardware style except it is in a warm color palette where they are often working in greyed tones. The design has the look of an ink roller that has irregular ink application. This makes the rug look more casual and at ease. I also don't notice much "tracking" from vacuum trails. That could be a huge plus for high traffic areas. The tightly curled edges on the 9x12 have relaxed nicely after three to four days with or without a weight applied. The only negative for me is that there is no 18' long runner offered. 20' is just a bit too long, and 16' is too short.
